Family member has a archery tag. Why do you ask?

[jayrod9528]

I have some private land in that gmu I can hunt. I was just wondering about how long it takes to draw a tag out of there and if rifle hunting is ok just wondering.

A lifetime is about the soonest you can expect to draw that permit.

Actually, just looked and odds are about 1 in 180. So, if you live a healthy life, you could expect to draw that permit once in every two lifetimes.

Well at least I can hunt yotes there but, it looks really good for deer. Just wondering.

It's just about the hardest deer permit to draw in this state, if not THE hardest.

Your not trying to discourage me are you?  Just kidding I have some great land to hunt just wish I had permission when it was time to put in for them. I will shoot my fill of yotes out ther untill I can get a Deer tag out there.

You're sure optimistic. And no I'm certainly not trying to discourage you.

It's just that 2,695 people applied for 15 permits last year. And the other hunt, that had 4 permits, had 2,867 applicants. 

I will not apply for any permit with that kind of impossible odds.
